Actress Anne Hathaway appears on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar’s August 2011 issue wearing a silk chiffon gown by Gucci. Inside, Anne discusses her personal style, hosting the Academy Awards, and her former relationship with Raffaello Follieri.

On her personal style: “I’ve become a lot more specific about what I love and why I’m doing it. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world when I get to wear all these glamorous clothes.”

On hosting the Academy Awards: “Anyone who disliked my personality probably disliked my personality before the Oscars. In the grand scheme of things, I got to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I met great people, wore beautiful clothes. And I got to put on a show. I don’t see a downside.”

On her relationship with Raffaello Follieri: “There’s something very addictive about people pleasing. It’s a thought pattern and a habit that feels really, really good until it becomes desperate. It’s one of the reasons that relationship ended.”
